I used to enjoy fighting along side with my fellow marines, but the more I fought with them, the more I realized that they are not combat ready. So I thought I would devise a test to determine which marines were worthy enough to fight along side the MC. Here's how I did it.On AOTCR, where the tunnel leads under ground, there are two hunters. What I did was drive down towards the hunters, just to get their attention,then I drove back up and parked the hog off to one side of the tunnle. I had three marines at this point, and it was on legendary.So the hunters came up and I hid behind my hog. As soon as the hunters came into view, the marines engaged the threat. I thought to myself, these marines don't stand a chance.Well the hunters killed one marine, and severely injured the other two, but in the end the marines stood victorious.This is how I decide which marines are worthy enough to acompany me on my mission. Yes the marines were the victors, until about twenty minutes later when they died at the hands of some other covies. I see this methodical test as being more fair to the marines, than me just shooting them, or running them over. By testing them this way, I give them a chance to show me what they're made of. If anything, it's fun to watch.

I like to drive a hog full of men over that ramp and into that flock of jackles (6-7 of them) and bail out and see how they do...most times they dont do so well haha.

Its also good to park down by there and let the gunner give you some back up as you make it up the hill and take out the elite.

I dont care how good they are, they die at the end weather you keep them at a safe distance or not, they just drop dead...wierd eh, probably heart attacks from seeing the invisibale elites getting dropped off out front. Why cant they just $hit there pants, why they gotta die??? WHY?!?
